PROPOSED BONUS ISSUE OF SHARES; PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL AND

NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the circular is to provide you with information regarding (i) the proposed Bonus Issue; (ii) the proposed increase in Authorised Share Capital; and (iii) the notice convening the EGM, at which necessary resolutions will be proposed to consider, and if thought fit, to approve the proposed Bonus Issue and the proposed increase in Authorised Share Capital.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED BONUS ISSUE

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 27 December 2013 in relation to the Bonus Issue and the increase in Authorised Share Capital. The Board proposed a bonus issue to the Qualifying Shareholders on the basis of 4 Bonus Shares for every 1 existing Share held on the Record Date by the Qualifying Shareholders. The Bonus Issue will be credited as fully paid at par by way of capitalisation of an amount in the retained profit account of the Company. The terms of the Bonus Issue are set out below.

Basis of Bonus Issue

Subject to the conditions as set out under the heading ‘‘Conditions of the Bonus Issue’’ below, the Bonus Shares will be issued and credited as fully paid at par on the basis of 4 Bonus Shares for every 1 existing Share held on the Record Date by the Qualifying Shareholders.

On the basis of 1,264,000,000 existing Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, and assuming no further Shares will be issued or repurchased before the Record Date, 5,056,000,000 Bonus Shares will be issued under the Bonus Issue. The Bonus Shares will be credited as fully paid at par by way of capitalisation of an amount in the retained profit account of the Company. After completion of the Bonus Issue, there will be a total of 6,320,000,000 Shares in issue as enlarged by the Bonus Issue.

Record Date and closure of register of members

The Bonus Shares will be issued to the Qualifying Shareholders. Arrangement for the Non-Qualifying Shareholders are further elaborated under the heading ‘‘Overseas Shareholders’’ below.

The register of members of the Company will be closed from Friday, 14 February 2014 to Monday, 17 February 2014 (both days inclusive) in order to determine the entitlement of the Shareholders under the Bonus Issue.

Shareholders are reminded that in order to qualify for the Bonus Issue, they must ensure that all transfers accompanied by the relevant share certificates are lodged with the Hong Kong share registrar of the Company, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong for registration not later than 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, 13 February 2014.

The exact total number of Bonus Shares to be issued under the Bonus Issue will not be capable of determination until the Record Date.

Reasons for the proposed Bonus Issue

In recognition of the continual support of the Shareholders, the Board decides to propose the Bonus Issue. In addition to that, the Directors believe that the Bonus Issue will enhance the liquidity of the Shares in the market and thereby enlarging the Company’s shareholder base.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Overseas Shareholders

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 4 Overseas Shareholders whose addresses as registered in the register of members of the Company were outside Hong Kong. Enquiry will be made by the Board pursuant to Rule 13.36 of the Listing Rules. Upon such enquiry, if the Board is of the view that the exclusion of the Overseas Shareholders is necessary or expedient, the Bonus Shares will not be granted to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders. In such circumstances, arrangements will be made for the Bonus Shares which would otherwise have been issued to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders, if any, to be sold in the market as soon as practicable after dealing in the Bonus Shares commences. Any net proceeds of sale, after deduction of expenses, will be distributed in Hong Kong dollars to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders, if any, pro rata to their respective shareholdings and remittances therefore will be posted to them, at their own risk, unless the amount falling to be distributed to any such persons is less than HK$100.00, in which case it will be retained for the benefit of the Company.

Status of the Bonus Shares and fractional entitlements

The Bonus Shares, upon issue, will rank pari passu with the Shares then existing in all respects, including the entitlement of receiving dividends and other distributions on the record date for which is on or after the date of allotment and issue of those Bonus Shares. There will not be any fractional entitlements to the Bonus Shares.

Conditions of the Bonus Issue

The Bonus Issue will be conditional upon:

  • (1) the approval of the Bonus Issue and the increase in the Authorised Share Capital by the Shareholders at the EGM;

  • (2) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Bonus Shares; and

  • (3) compliance with the relevant legal procedures and requirements (if any) under the applicable laws of Cayman Islands and the articles of association of the Company to effect the Bonus Issue.

Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in the Bonus Shares. Apart from making listing application to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange, the Board does not propose to make application to any other stock exchanges for the listing of and permission to deal in, the Bonus Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Adjustments to the Warrants, the Share Options and the Convertible Bonds

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 120,000,000 outstanding Warrants. The Bonus Issue may lead to adjustment to the exercise price and/or the number of Shares which may fall to be issued upon exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the Warrants. As the exact number of Bonus Shares cannot be determined until the Record Date, the Company will make further announcement for the aforesaid adjustment to the Warrants.

Moreover, as at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 120,000,000 outstanding Share Options. The Bonus Issue may lead to adjustment to the exercise price and/or the number of Shares which may fall to be issued upon exercise of Share Options. As the exact number of the Bonus Shares cannot be determined until the Record Date, the Company will make further announcement for the aforesaid adjustments to the Share Options.

Furthermore, pursuant to the CB Subscription Agreement which was completed on 15 January 2014 (details of which are set out in the circular of the Company dated 19 December 2013 and the announcement about completion of the CB Subscription Agreement dated 15 January 2014), the Company has agreed to issue and the CB Subscriber has agreed to subscribe for the Convertible Bonds in the principal amount of HK$500,000,000 in tranches in accordance with the written demand(s) by the Company to be made within two years after the abovementioned completion date. The Bonus Issue may lead to adjustment to the conversion price and/or the number of Shares which may fall to be issued upon exercise of conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Bonds. As the exact number of the Bonus Shares cannot be determined until the Record Date, the Company will make further announcement for the aforesaid adjustments to the Convertible Bonds.

Save for the Warrants, the Share Options and the Convertible Bonds, the Company has no outstanding options, warrants or convertible securities to subscribe for any securities of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Trading Arrangement

Subject to the grant of listing of, and permission to deal in, the Bonus Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Bonus Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Bonus Shares or such other date as may be determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between members of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operation Procedures in effect from time to time.

It is expected that dealings in the Bonus Shares on the Stock Exchange will commence on Monday, 24 February 2014.

Stamp duty in Hong Kong will be payable in respect of dealings in the Bonus Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Certificates for Bonus Shares

It is expected that certificates for the Bonus Shares will be posted on or before Friday, 21 February 2014 after all the conditions of the Bonus Issue shall have been fulfilled at the risk of the Shareholders entitled thereto to their respective addresses shown on the register of members of the Company on the Record Date. Dealings in the Bonus Shares are expected to commence on Monday, 24 February 2014.

Expected Timetable

The expected timetable for the Bonus Issue is set out on page 4 of this circular.

Dates or deadlines specified in this circular are indicative only and may be varied by the Company. Any consequential changes to the expected timetable will be published or notified to the Shareholders as and when appropriate.

PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Authorised Share Capital is HK$20,000,000 divided into 2,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each, of which 1,264,000,000 Shares were in issue and fully paid. Under the proposed Bonus Issue, the Company intends to allot and issue 5,056,000,000 Shares (assuming no further Shares will be issued or repurchased before the Record Date). In order to cater for the issue and allotment of the Bonus Shares pursuant to the Bonus Issue and to increase the flexibility of issuing further Shares by the Company, the Board proposes to the Shareholders the increase in the Authorised Share Capital from HK$20,000,000 (divided into 2,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each) to HK$200,000,000 (divided into 20,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each) by creating an additional of 18,000,000,000 unissued Shares.

The proposed increase in Authorised Share Capital is conditional upon the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM.

Save the Bonus Issue, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors have no intention to issue any part of the proposed additional Shares to be created.

EGM

A notice convening the EGM to be held at the Conference Room, 3/F, Nexxus Building, 77 Des Voeux Road Central, Hong Kong at 2:30 p.m. on Monday, 10 February 2014 is set out on pages 11 to 13 of this circular.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, and to the best knowledge, belief and information of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required under the Listing Rules to abstain from voting on the proposed resolutions at the EGM.

A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instruction printed thereon as soon as possible and in any event not less
